The paintings by students of Curtis Draper's â.rt classes rtere nor insured. Richard Cleland, the dean ot men, r'eported the theft to tbe !-resno Police Department and the FCC campus police. Cleland considers theft one of

the ì¡¡orst forms of dishonesty it permanently takes an ob-

very personal

thing," Cleland seidj "It was a severe loss to the artists, considering the time and effort, they put

into their work."

Each stolen painting represented an average of 15 houls of class

"It marked a double loss fo¡ Phil," Draper sald, "because one of his paintings was stolen from the art sale Ìast November in the Cafeteria." Draper said that 'the theft had

"temporarily dampened" the spir-

Draper thinks it curious that the thief would choose such a varied sampling of paintings from

tradltlonal styles

to

modern.

"It would seem

to me that more LhaD one thief was lnvolved," he said, "since it rvould be very un-

comfortable for any one person to carry all five paintints by himself."

"The students in a way c¿n be flattered that their pa.intings were taken instead of merely def¿ced," Draper said. "It's u¡fortunate the

thief didn't see fit to pay for

them."

Last Observation

The last known person to see the paintings was Rodney Krue ger, who was instrrrcting an Ar.t
